Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

During the days he spent crafting the Array Plate, Jingjing had been completely still, silently sleeping without any sign of awakening. Tang San could only feel that Jingjing silently absorbed his bloodline energy. A portion of the Origin Energy he absorbed also merged into Jingjing\'s body.

But this did not cause any problems for his body. On the contrary, he found that these days, his speed in drawing upon the Origin Energy had increased by nearly thirty percent compared to before. The portion absorbed by Jingjing was even less than the additional amount he absorbed, not causing him any burden at all. It even improved his cultivation speed and had a purifying effect on his Mysterious Heaven Skill Energy. It was not in vain that Jingjing occupied a Mark position in his Dantian.

For Tang San, this was undoubtedly a hidden danger, but the only thing that gave him some peace of mind was that he could be sure that Jingjing was a newly hatched young life, pure in nature. Being the first person she saw, she recognized him as her father. Moreover, she was a being with high intelligence and strong learning ability. Subjectively, she did not have any ill will toward him, nor would she have any. The only worry was whether she would cause some instinctive destruction after continuously absorbing energy in his body. Another reassuring point for Tang San was that the Crystal Great Demon Emperor seemed to have completely forgotten about this little creature. He had left Hell\'s Garden for some time now, but the First Demon Emperor had never come looking for him.

The queue entered at a swift pace, and those who could enter had already paid a deposit in advance and received a number plate. Tang San followed the people ahead of him, filing in one by one. He was finally about to enter the continent\'s number one Grand Animal Fighting Arena.

The Ancestral Court Grand Fighting Beast Arena was built against the mountains, or rather, three adjacent peaks, which formed a concave shape. At the mid-mountain position of these three mountains, a huge platform connected them—a feat of divine craftsmanship.

This platform was undoubtedly where the real Animal Fighting Arena was located, with the spectator areas set up on the higher mountains above it. These were cave-like spaces of various sizes, carved out to accommodate the different sizes of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan spectators. Each cave was an individual entity, and it was said that the pricing of tickets to the Ancestral Court was based on the location and size of these caves—the larger and higher, the more expensive they were.

The enormous caves at the very top of the three mountains were reserved for the various Great Demon Emperors and the Heavenly Spirit Emperor to demonstrate their exalted status. The height of the three mountains of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena was roughly the same as most imperial palaces, though not as tall as some of the higher-ranking ones.

One side of the platform was a cliff, and it was said that if one failed in the Beast Fight here, they must jump down or be thrown down from up high, with no chance of survival. Even those with flying abilities would suffer the same fate, as this was a No-Fly zone.

To climb up to the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, one had to ascend the stone stairs on both sides, which also required courage. The stairs were not very wide, and on one side there was a cliff—the higher one went, the more dangerous it became. Falling down without flying abilities meant taking the impact with one\'s body.

That was how Tang San entered through the stone stairs. Wearing a hood and mask, his presence restrained, he was not afraid of being recognized as a Human. As he walked, he continuously observed this Grand Animal Fighting Arena.

After resting and cultivating these days, Tang San discovered that his Seventh Stage Spirit Rhinoceros Eyes, the Four-tailed Heavenly Fox, had gained another ability—Aura Observing Technique!

This Aura Observing Technique was different from the rudimentary one he saw when he first met Du Bai. It was a true ability to glimpse into Luck and momentum to some extent. It could apply to living beings, objects, or even directions.

At this moment, he was using this ability to probe the Fate of the Ancestral Court Grand Fighting Beast Arena. Tang San discovered that the entire scale of the Ancestral Court Grand Fighting Beast Arena was extremely grand, yet it was filled with a soaring black and red aura.

Black signifies gloom, haze, and misfortune; red represents slaughter and bloody disaster. Without doubt, this place was fraught with disaster and doom, inseparable from countless killings. Similarly, it also bore a part of the dark side of Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain. There was no question that this was one of the places where the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox used to offset luck. But all the black and red auras seemed to be contained within a certain range, never leaking outward.

As they climbed higher, the mountain wind became increasingly piercing, the temperature dropping, and the cold wind whistling. On one side, the cliffs soared higher and steeper, while the other side was met with equally abrupt mountain walls. Unlike other mountains lush with vegetation, these three peaks that supported the Ancestral Court Grand Fighting Beast Arena were devoid of any grass!

The Aura Observing Technique could also be applied to oneself, not only to peek at one\'s own luck but also to conceal one\'s own aura. Tang San\'s Spiritual Power was already at the Ninth Stage peak, and with divine consciousness as his core, using it was naturally effortless. At present, his aura was so restrained that he seemed like an ordinary person.

But precisely because of this, those who were also heading to the auction inadvertently increased the distance between themselves and him.

The lack of any bloodline aura made him seem like the most terrifying presence in their eyes!

As for these, Tang San didn\'t care much. As long as the top powerhouses couldn\'t detect his overwhelming Luck from afar, he was content.

Finally, the height exceeded that of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena\'s platform. Continuing upward along the staircase, one could see the dark red surface of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. The air itself seemed to thicken with an added sense of oppression and haze. Countless clansmen of various races had died here. Some came here to fight for their lives after being convicted, others chose this place for training, uncaring of their fate.

After passing the second inspection of the registration card, Tang San finally found his watching cave. The caves on the three mountain peaks were densely packed, definitely numbering over three thousand. Except for those caves at the very top, the rest could be occupied by the bidders. The three-day auction was even continuous, with leaving in between not allowed. Once you left, you could no longer return to continue participating. Therefore, the caves provided for the bidders were liveable. Of course, ordinary caves were only suitable for meditation. Who would want to cultivate in such a place, absorbing misfortune?

Actually, Tang San\'s cave was close to Zhang Haoxuan\'s, because they had registered together. The reason for not arriving together was to avoid revealing their close association.

Zhang Haoxuan\'s location was three three eight, Tang San\'s was three three six.

The cave wasn\'t large and wasn\'t too far from the Grand Animal Fighting Arena either. Those without attendants, like them, naturally wouldn\'t be allocated the prime spots.

Tang San\'s cave, number three three six, was about ten square meters. Inside was a desk, upon which sat a crystal ball with a small magic array for bidding. Besides that, there were some simple stored foods and water, and that was all.

The seating area was just a meditation cushion, and there was a telescope propped on one side, for a detailed view of the auction items. After all, these spots on the mountain were some distance from the Grand Animal Fighting Arena. Not every bidder had the powerful eyesight of Tang San.

"Teacher, I\'ve arrived, cave number three three six."

"Good, keep silent and wait for the start."
